On the main Cygwin web page, to the left side there is a link to "Search Packages". If you click that link and in the resulting search dialog put "/line.exe$" (that's a regular expression) you'll find that line.exe is in the util-linux package. Run setup.exe and install that package. Or if it is already installed, reinstall it. I don't know which package it used to be in your prior installation.

I found out, that line.exe is in the package util-linux-2.17.2-1. (http://cygwin.com/packages/util-linux/util-linux-2.17.2-1) But I automatically got the newer version util-linux-2.21-1 from the mirror, where line.exe is _not_ included: http://cygwin.com/packages/util-linux/util-linux-2.21-1 Ok, I will downgrade to util-linux-2.17.2-1 to get line.exe. May I ask you to have a look at this to save line.exe for future releases?

The line utility has been deprecated for a while, and now appears to have been removed from the util-linux package - you should switch to using the head utility instead.
